ARTech Teachers Visit Printmaking

By Dave Machacek

ARTech Teachers

Northfield School of Arts and Technology is a charter school in the Northfield School District, and its teachers and administrators visited the ArtOrg printmaking studio today to get the grand tour of the facility. We discussed the ArtOrg fall class offerings which Artech students may want take advantage of. Artech has done some relief printmaking and silk screening, but would also like to take advantage of the stone lithography, letterpress and intaglio possibilities offered by the community printmaking studio that ArtOrg has built. Welcome aboard!
